All three cargo tanks of the Apex 3417 were damaged, as well as the aft tank of the Apex 3503, resulting in the release of nearly 17,000 barrels of No. 5 oil (vacuum oil/catalytic feed stock) into Galveston Bay. A third tank barge also under tow, the Apex 3510, was not damaged in the collision. The Apex 3417 sank with its stern resting on the bottom of the channel and only its bow showing above the water. It released nearly all of its cargo, over 15,000 barrels of oil, over the course of two days. Apex 3503 was less damaged and ultimately released 1130 barrels of oil into the water. The Apex 3510 was towed to Houston, discharged its 23,000 barrel cargo, and returned on July 30 to offload the remaining oil [...]
